Malaysian sentenced to hang for murder of UK med students

KUALA LUMPUR: A Malaysian court convicted and sentenced a local fishmonger to death on Tuesday for the murder of two British medical students last year, his defence lawyer said. Zulkipli Abdullah, 24, was found guilty of stabbing to death Neil Dalton and Aidan Brunger in the city of Kuching last August after an argument in a bar. “He was found guilty. The judge accepted the testimonies of the prosecution witnesses,” Zulkipli’s lawyer Anthony Tai told AFP.
